Learn MoreHow we work a chimney in Sherman Oaks
Sherman Oaks splits at Ventura Boulevard: postwar ranch homes and apartments on the flats, midcentury custom hillside houses to the south. Those two stacks need different things, so a roof look comes first and the plan comes down the ladder after it. Hillsides south of Ventura Boulevard fall in high fire hazard zones, so caps there matter when dry Santa Anas carry embers. It gets much hotter here in summer than over the mountains at the coast, and the 1971 quake rattled the masonry here too.
What We Check on the Roof
Ember-ready caps on the hillside, heat-worn crowns, and ranch-house brick on the flats.
What the Same Crew Fixes
The crew that climbed your flat roof or hillside lot sets the mortar and the cap.
Brush Work Here
Postwar ranch flues and midcentury custom flues, all brushed by hand with rotary heads.
